Which TomTom ?

Having returned my 2nd faulty 720 for a refund, I have decided to buy an alternative model without all the "bells and whistles" of the 720.

Essential requirements:

- Western Europe maps
- Ability to upgrade to North America maps
- Decent battery life (3hrs +)

Desirable requirements

- Bluetooth connection for traffic
- Mapshare

Any suggestions ?

TT One Europe XL (add the US maps onto an SD card) or an older style TT ONE europe (Not XL) that has an SD card slot. Both may not have mapshare now but will have it shortly when the software is upgraded.

Thanks.

Does it have a 3hr+ battery life? Looking at some reviews it looks more like 1-2hrs.

Not sure about that but it's the backlight that eats the battery - turn it down and it will increase battery life.

Is there a website that compares sat nav products side by side, so that you can see at a glance what the features are??

I hoped that the TomTom side would do this, but it doesn't... I think...

Any ideas please??

I think I want TomTom (the wife sure does!)
...and is there one that reroutes you, based on traffic?

cheers,

Its the other way round, I think the red "X" shouldn't be there......

To confirm the One XL Europe version does have 1GB of inbuilt flash memory AND an SD card slot, you can only use one or the other though, the SD card cannot be used to supplement the onboard memory. Please see the review Here for further details - Mike

I don't know if you've made a decision yet, but TomTom is giving away a ONE. Today is the last day for the contest...
